I read your quote with a British accent in mind

Gawd, as much as I admire much America, I hope those aren't imported, we shall not be buying. Meanwhile in the gym [image: 1778487561650-20260504_092451-resized.jpg]

Some of you don't have young kids and it shows. My morning routine is usually when my 5-year old scurries in at 6am (he's been getting up between 5-6am since he was 1), so he and I head down as I make coffee, I turn on a fish show for him (he loves fishing shows), then I turn on my work computer. From there any idea of a routine is laughable... but I wouldn't change it, time is flying and I can't believe my 2nd-born (the 5 year old) will be in Kindergarten in a few months. Anyway back to the idea... habit stacking makes sense. And the advice from the 103 year old... totally, I mean I would retire in a heartbeat if I could but I have so many other passions I'd love to pursue (non-fiction writing, travel, golf, reading classics I skipped in school) so my mind would stay busy. For the 2nd one (don't carry hatred) abso-fucking-lutely. I was just teaching my kids yesterday while driving about becoming a brain ninja... aka if someone does something bad to you, you'll "win" if you don't let it make you upset and react. Like if someone cuts you off in traffic, or is mean to you, immediately put it out of your head and don't let it get to you. My wife actually gets annoyed at how quickly (like in 1-2 seconds) I'll put an annoyance behind me. Like the other day she spilled a 250-count ibuprofen bottle and it scattered all over the kitchen floor. She couldn't believe I wasn't bothered by it as we picked all of the tablets up... I told her "why get mad? the only option right now is to just clean it up and move on."

I would have thought at least one person would have guessed the answer: more ice. One of the major theories at the time, was that at the top of the world, there was a tropical island surrounded by water, and there was the ring of ice that had to be broken through to reach the island. The Democrats believed that but the Republicans knew it was just more ice.

I'll tell you, I might not have been trained to land a jet that big but I'd sure as hell give it the old college try.

@89th said: I remember about 15 years ago thinking "if someone really wants job security, become a linguistic expert in a lesser known language", as I knew a few places willing to pay a LOT of money for folks who specialized in certain cultures and languages... now I'm guessing that is also getting wiped clean as a career given translation models out there. I used to do real time translation, though not in a lesser known language. As you said, this is an area that is quickly being replaced by computers. I have a pair of translation ear buds and when I first got them, they were about 60% accurate with a time lag. Good enough to get a general idea of what was happening in a conversation, but not good enough to really participate. Now, they are about 80%+ accurate and I am sure, they will only get better.

I took it to mean he was investigating internal leakers, so she wouldn’t be the target of the investigation. His performative, process-is-the-punishment legal action against the journalist and her magazine is in the form of a civil suit.

Here’s a WaPo story about it. Gift link. https://wapo.st/3QWgKvj

Welcome to Gavin Newsom’s California.

@Horace said: I wonder if we'll be treated to a creative and captivating demise story for AndreaB someday. LOL. And she knows George-K.

Farage/Starmer, meh ---- We had Biden-Harris/Trump.

Yeah he would have done much worse in t-bills than in stocks. That’s true over probably any 20 year period in history.

Follow your passion.

He definitely has a great voice and presentation. (on another note, at what point is changes in video quality no longer visible by the human eye?)

Huge yachts are particularly funny to me, not that I wouldn't like to experience them maybe once. But at the end of the day it can't be any nicer than a nice hotel room. Or, perish the thought, a nice stay in your own luxurious home. The view and whatever magical feeling you might get from being on the ocean (and I'm very sure that passes quickly) is the only difference.

Rigetti and D-Wave up 15x over the past 2.5 years. Unfortunately, I only bought like USD$100 of each. LOL.
